Trump is now saying that "good" undocumented workers - employed, usually at punishingly low wages, by huge farms and other businesses often owned by GOP donors - will be excluded from his deportation sweeps. Hmmm.
Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison.

This parade will cost at least the equivalent of 180 years worth of an NIH biomedical research grant.
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

The FEMA head didn’t know about hurricane season and they’ve gutted NOAA weather monitoring. Musk and RFK eviscerated our public health programs. The FAA is in shambles. Trump’s tariff reckoning is coming due. And the DHS head of counterterrorism is a 22-year-old bro.

🚨 Tucked into the Republican BS Budget (section 70302) is a provision that would prevent courts from holding members of the Trump admin accountable via contempt rulings.
Meaning, a judge could order an action (Ex: return illegally deported people), but couldn't force COMPLIANCE of those orders. 😳 🎧

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
